Finding Your Perfect Agent Fit with Agent Ismita Hussain and Author Jessica Guerrieri
Please note: This episode contains mentions of alcoholism, recovery, and sobriety.
We are so happy to welcome author Jessica Guerrieri and agent Ismita Hussain (Great Dog Literary) to the podcast.
They're a great example of what to look for in an author-agent relationship--they're creative, collaborative, supportive, and successful (Jessica's debut book club fiction, Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea, comes out 2025 with HarperCollins).
We also discuss re-querying, facing rejection, and the healing power of storytelling and personal narrative.
